A Thief Today

O you wounded spiteful man

Society cast you if they can

The spider spun her web

And tormented your head

Poison ran thru your veins

You tried for other gains

You live in a web of deceit

Crime all around at your feet

You prey upon the rich and poor

With your venom you break the door

Thief you spun your web and caught

My possessions and left me naught
